Yesterday my campaign sent a letter to Facebook. | |  | | Yesterday my campaign sent a letter to Facebook asking them to pull down ads from a shady dark money group backing Trump with bold faced lies -- targeting me across the country.
The issue isn't free speech, Facebook -- It's your choice to profit off of selling your platform to promote Trump's lies about me.
Will you join me and my team by signing a letter to Facebook, demanding they not use their platforms for lies? Read below to sign the letter and chip in $5 to help my campaign fight back.
-- Joe Biden
Dear Facebook Public Policy and Global Elections Team:
A SuperPAC that calls itself the Committee to Defend the President began placing a false advertisement concerning Vice President Biden on Facebook on October 16, 2019.
We know about you recently-announced policy that you will accept any and all false advertising from a politician.
And we, the American voters and grassroots activists, have serious concerns with that astounding position.
That’s why we are demanding you not use your platform for lies, and in the meantime I am donating to Joe Biden to allow him to fight back against these viral lies: Your policy grants blanket permission to candidates to use your platform to mislead American voters, all while Facebook profits from their advertising dollars.
BUT even Facebook’s deeply flawed policy of letting politicians lie on the platform does NOT apply to third-party groups, like the Committee to Defend the President. Advertisements submitted by such groups “must not contain deceptive, false, or misleading claims.”
The ads in question have been fact-checked by The Washington Post and numerous outlets -- all which say they are LIES: Facebook’s decision to sell the Committee the tools to target certain segments of the population with lies, thereby profiting from the propagation of the Committee’s falsehoods, is something else entirely. That decision is indefensible.
That’s why you’re hearing from us concerned citizens that prioritize the health of American democracy.
There is time yet for Facebook to share that priority. I, Kooly, demand you disallow these false ads, and will be supporting Joe Biden’s campaign as the decisions you have made to make money continue to do harm: False political content was shared more than 38 million times on Facebook in the three months leading up to the November 2016 election; and that content was among your platform’s top performing political content.
Facebook has promised the public, the United States Congress, and its users that it will not allow these errors to recur, and that its platform will no longer be a conduit for misinformation and a tool of political distortion.
Now is the time to translate those words into action.
Sincerely,
|

I really wanted to email you celebrating Joe's huge night at the Ohio debate on Tuesday, but this tweet has me worried: | | | | | I really wanted to email you celebrating Joe’s huge night at the Ohio debate on Tuesday, but this tweet has me worried: I hate to say it, but our opponents are way ahead of us when it comes to money in the bank.
And on top of that, some of our opponents have boasted raising big bucks since Tuesday night’s debate. That could give them a huge leg up going into the next phase of this race.
If we don’t pick up the pace here, we might have to make budget cuts that could seriously hurt our momentum in this primary. I don’t want that to happen -- do you?
Will you chip in $5 or more today to boost our campaign to beat Trump? | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | |
Having less cash on hand means we have less budget to respond to the constant twists and turns of this race -- and with Donald Trump constantly pushing his false smear campaign against Joe, that’s a HUGE problem.
But this isn’t just about funding our warchest to fight back against Trump.
The first votes will be cast in this primary starting February 3, 2020 -- just over 100 days from now -- and we need to be fueling our grassroots efforts in crucial states like Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.
We can’t afford to fall behind, so I’m asking you to step up now and make a donation to fuel our campaign. Will you chip in $5 now? | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | |

it's important. | | | | | Friends,
This week at the Democratic Debate, I reminded the American people what we need when Donald Trump leaves office: someone who is ready to lead on day one.
I know it might sound presumptuous, but I think that candidate is me.
I know what it takes to restore a government that works for the American people and not for the Trump family.
I will swiftly restore America’s standing in the world as a beacon of democracy. I will make sure that our allies understand that our word is good and that our promises will be kept.
On day one of my administration, I will put America back to the road to progress.
But, I can’t do this without you. I need you to stand with me tonight and chip in $5 to help power the most important campaign of our lifetime: | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | |
Being ready on day one means having the ability to defeat the gun lobby again.
Being ready on day one means knowing how to build on our nation’s health care system, not tear it apart and start from scratch. And knowing how to get that legislation passed.
Being ready on day one means being able to deliver real results in Washington for good-paying jobs, affordable prescription drugs, and the future of Medicare and Social Security.
,I’ll be ready on day one to make all of us hopeful for our American future.
And if there’s one thing I know, it’s that when we stand together, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish.
So I’m asking you to stand with me. Chip in $5 right now to let me know that we’re in this fight together:

Together, we will reclaim the American 21st Century.  Joe Biden |
